Debolina Dutta is an Indian actress known for her work in Bengali cinema and television.[1][2] She has been targeted by far-right hate groups associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party for her liberal and secular views and food choices. This has resulted in legal proceedings against the perpetrators.[3]

She made her acting debut with a small role in Seemarekha (1996) a Bengali TV series.[1] She rose to prominence for her role as Deepaboli in Saat Kahon a Bengali TV series, based on Samaresh Majumdar's novel of the same name. She hit the crux of her stardom after she starred as Nandini in Ravi Ojha's Ek Akasher Niche.[4] Her success continued with roles in TV series such as Kobe Je Kothay, Sakhi and Andarmahal. Despite her fame and popularity, She did not undergo a successful phase of her big screen career as she did not want to compromise with the casting couch in Bengali Film Industry. She made her Bollywood debut in Rajnandini (2022).[5]
